Day 10: Stop for the Night
June 16, 2005 9:11pm Odometer: 36,760
Found the campground; very nice! Got in about 8pm, set up the tent, got a beer, and had some dinner. It would have helped to bring along a pad for the center stand; the tent spots are all on grass, and keeping the 'bike side stand or center stand from sinking into the soft ground has been a bit of a challenge. I stuck one of the shop towels I brought along under the center stand, and that seems to help a bit.
I realized that the license plate frame covers up the portion of my license that says “California” so it's tough for others to determine where I'm from. A nice old fellow at the campground thought I was from Italy (maybe because the frame says “Modesto”?). He said he normally takes his old BMW with a sidecar to go camping, though he didn't take it this time because his wife was with him. Would have been neat to see his 'bike.
I'm pretty tuckered out! The combination of the late night and long day have wiped me out. Should sleep really well tonight!

Hi Mike, Boy, I think I'd sleep pretty well too. What a pretty camp site. What an odyssy you're on. Enjoy your updates. Give Christoph and Nicole my love. Would love to be there with you. Be sure and take lots of pictures with that neat little camera. Ha. Interesting about your "center stand" ordeal...but you can't think of everything can you. Love, Bill and Mom
